'Alam al-Deen al-Sakhawi once wrote: [اعلم بأن القرآن العزيز يُقرأ للتعلم؛ فالواجب التقليل والتكرير، ويُقرأ للتدبر؛ فالواجب الترتيل والتوقف، ويُقرأ لتحصيل الأجر بكثرة القراءة؛ فله أن يقرأ ما استطاع ولا يؤنَّب إذا أراد الإسراع.] You should know that the inimitable Qur'an can be recited: -for learning, in which case it should be recited in small amounts with much repetition -for contemplation, in which case it should be recited slowly with pauses -for rewards by reciting large amounts, in which case one can recite as much as he is able to and should not be criticized if he wants to recite quickly. [Jamal al-Qurra' pg 665]
